I am Sorry ???? Select Statement
Select……… • Operations in a relational database act on a complete set of rows. • The set of rows returned by a SELECT statement consists of all the rows that satisfy the conditions in the WHERE clause of the statement. • This complete set of rows returned by the statement is known as the result set

Cursor • Is a database object who can navigate the records one by one not as a whole. • Using cursor we can move forward, backward, jump some records ahead, position the record pointer at any position. • We can able to update / Delete current records.
Cursors extend result processing by: • Allowing positioning at specific rows of the result set. • Retrieving one row or block of rows from the current position in the result set. • Supporting data modifications to the rows at the current position in the result set. • Providing Transact-SQL statements in scripts, stored procedures, and triggers access to the data in a result set.
Steps to Declare & use • Declare the Cursor • Open the cursor • Fetch the Cursor • Close the Cursor
